Verdict

Joseph O'Brien has edged his way into the lead in the race for the jockey's title and has been booked for Indigo Ridge, who made a fine debut at Cork but has struggled in heavy ground subsequently. Desiderata ran poorly when fancied in testing ground at Fairyhouse on his nursery debut and looks a few pounds high while Sin Miedo has been well beaten in a couple of similar races to this at Gowran. Marvelous James did better at Down Royal last time and goes on the short-list but in an open contest a chance is taken with CUT ME LOOSE, who has been finding 6f on the short side and was finishing well on his debut on this surface last time. Lake Louise would prove a threat if getting a run from her reserve spot.
